Infrastructure Changes to Support Automated Vehicles on Rural and Metropolitan Highways and Freeways: Emerging Asset Information Technology (Module 4)
Abstract The purpose of this project is to identify gaps in current physical and digital road infrastructure to support the operation of automated vehicles on key highways and freeways in Australia and New Zealand This Module 4 investigates emerging…
Infrastructure Changes to Support Automated Vehicles on Rural and Metropolitan Highways and Freeways: Asset Standards (Module 3)
This report investigates road asset standards relevant to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) on metropolitan and rural highways and freeways in Australia and New Zealand. It builds on previous work by Austroads and other national and…
Infrastructure Changes to Support Automated Vehicles on Rural and Metropolitan Highways and Freeways: Project Findings and Recommendations (Module 5)
The purpose of this project is to identify the gaps in current physical and digital road infrastructure to support the operation of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) on key highways and freeways in Australia and New Zealand. By 2025, it can be…
Dangerous Goods in Tunnels: Application and Methodology
This report provides a standardised assessment method to mitigate the criticism of the transport of dangerous goods through road tunnels and provide greater transparency of the decisions reached. The transport of dangerous goods is critical to…
